After being a teacher for over 12 years, I thought I had heard it all in class. My favorite grammar error is: he-him, she-shim Of course, I believe this one is taken from a Kuwaiti play called “Bye bye London”.
Today I heard one that I for one had never heard before. We were practicing the object pronouns. I wanted them to ask me to give them what I am holding. So I held up 1 pen and a student said, “Can you give it to me?” I then held up 3 pens and she goes, “Can you give its to me?”
Well, I couldn’t really blame her, only yesterday I told her to add an “s” to most nouns to make them plural :D
